Idiocracy

Recently switched to Waterfox from Firefox and loving it. Much faster than the latter and I can use all of my add ons.

Haven't used Chrome in years so they can suck it.

You may be right, but whether you hate ABP specifically or not should be irrelevant to the question. The question was why other extensions - like Adblock - can have those feature but uBlock Lite can't. What's different?

I'd also like to know, personally. I'd wondered the same thing.

I swapped to Chrome years ago because YouTube stopped working right on Firefox.

I've started the process of swapping back to Firefox after 10 years with Chrome over this.

There were a few extensions you could run in firefox that told youtube that it was totally for reals being accessed by a chrome browser.

I have used firefox from like 2005 to 2024. I am now using brave and I am quite happy with it. I just disabled all this useless cryptobro crap that it comes with. I tried most of the chromium based browsers and this is by far the one that better fits my needs. It has an adblocker that works well, it has a sync option that is not on google servers and supposedly they dont have that insane telemetry that chrome has. And yes an adblocker is tottally needed and will probably be allways needed. I do run a network adblocker with pihole and nextDNS. I haven't seen a single add in years and do not miss them at all. I rather ahve a half broken page than some random website trying to sell me satisfiers and blue pills.

Movie turning into a documentary in real time.

[g4nd41ph@lemmy.world]

Boy, that would have been good to know back in 2015, I feel like I let Google hoodwink me into using Chrome for all that time.

[toiletobserver@lemmy.world]

Unknown, i can use gestures on my phone which work in Firefox. Maybe it's is a phone problem.

[knexcar@lemmy.world]

This is probably the single thing that got me to switch to Firefox. Privacy whatever, I don’t care about my data or the morality of my tech company or whatever, but mess with my adblocker and goodbye.

Just as a heads up:
Double space then Enter to do a linebreak

Yeah, I'm using Vivaldi too and getting concerned about UBO's lifespan...

I also have pfBlockerNG running in my firewall, which blocks a load too, but not looking forwards to the future...

[ledericas@lemm.ee]

firefox is going through thier own enshittifcation down the line, they changed ther policy about data recently

[zeropublix@lemmy.ml]

I’m using voyager it looked fine formatted there. Good to know though

[ledericas@lemm.ee]

never had a problem with firefox and youtube

[ledericas@lemm.ee]

some some youtubers that had setup like that, it was so cringey. its from idiocracy

[dontmakemorebabies@lemm.ee]

I think the Brave CEO recently said some Trumpy shit (in case you're at all curious for the downvoting).
